Richard Pryor was one of the most influential comedians of the 1970s. Here, in his first concert film, he is at his caustic, gritty best. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Pryor had done other concert films ... but this is far and away his finest -- Pryor firing on all cylinders.
-
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
A evolução de Pryor nos oito anos que separam esta performance de seu primeiro e desastroso show é espantosa: ele não apenas domina o material de maneira inquestionável como ainda exerce um fascínio absoluto sobre a platéia.

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Brilliant, profane, gutsy, and funny. Prime Pryor.

Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a stand-up act, and I don't think I've ever learned so much about comedic influences in one sitting.

Clive Davis, Times [UK]
If Pryor's free-ranging style no longer seems quite so original, it is partly because it has spawned so many imitators.
